Holy Island: Around Lindisfarne

My favourite subjects for photos are often things that I had no interest in before I started taking photos again including abbeys, horses and boats. I have no idea why I love photos of abandoned, empty boats but Lindisfarne was a pretty perfect location for me because not only were there boats, but there were also sheds made out of - you guessed it - boats! Amazing! 

That last photo is probably my favourite photo from the Island (maybe even the whole holiday, but its a tough call) I might print it out bigger for myself I like it so much. I think it is actually the lady looking at her camera that really makes it for me though even if the boat sheds are cool, my eye keeps getting drawn to her.

Holy Island: Inside Lindisfarne Castle

I'm not very brave with taking photos inside with film cameras as usually with my plastic and Lomo cameras they never work out very well. But in comparison my Zenit B is a very forgiving camera, in fact, most of my favourite photos with it have been taken inside. So I decided to be a bit braver with it and take some photos inside Lindisfarne Castle, though by a bit braver, I mean 5 photos instead of maybe 2 haha. And as you can see, just to be safe, they are all of very bright places with big windows.

I guess technically that last photo is outside, but it was within the castle grounds, so I'm putting it here anyway. Also, I usually like an even number of photos in posts... (You probably didn't notice. You'll notice now.)

I wouldn't say I'm 100% thrilled with these photos, I'm still having fun balancing the manual exposure with my Zenit B and even though this is a 200 iso film, I still managed to overexpose a lot of the photos outside which is frustrating.

On the plus side, the inside of Lindisfarne Castle was amazing and for £7 (ish, I don't fully remember) entry, I thought it was a bargain as the castle tour just seemed to keep going with room after stunning room to look around. In fact I even would say it was better than I was expecting and I had high expecations.
